Not only divorces. First there are temporary and perminent restraining orders

Restraining orders are used in a variety of contexts, including employment disputes, copyright infringement, and cases of harassment, domestic abuse, and stalking.

But not all restraining orders come with the second amendment nullification feature. Only "domestic violence ones". The law is not completely clear, but the regulations say the person restrained against (ie. the girlfriend in this case) need only have the same relationship as a spouse, there need not even be a common law marriage relationship. Shacking up for a short time is apparently enough, maybe even less "relationship" than that. There need not be any allegation of actual or threatened violence.

But if an employer or a neighbor got a restraining order against you, the Lautenberg amendment would not apply.

Is that true for tempories too? Or does the Lautenberg amendment come into play with perminent?
